Introduction In this Annex we provide an example of preliminary guidance on the use of benefits transfer (BT) for the following impact categories: • rivers: - informal recreation - angling • coastal: - recreation. The above impacts categories have been selected on the basis of the transferability of the studies to the flood management and coastal defence context. Overall, recreation benefits (both formal and informal), depending on the nature of the problems and the options chosen to address them, will have the following components (based on Penning-Rowsell et al., 2003): 1. The prevention of further deterioration: losses associated with the ‘do- nothing’ option when compared to the existing scenario. Almost all coastal protection projects and some riverine and coastal flood defence ones will have this component. Options that only prevent further deterioration and simply reinstate the site to its current condition will involve this component. Note, however, that benefits can also arise under the ‘do-nothing’ option if, by walking away for instance, the river is restored to a more natural state and, as a result, attracts more visitors. 2. The improvement of the condition of the site from the current state to a better one: gains.For example, the replacement of hard river flood defence structures reaching the end of their life with more soft engineered defences may enhance the recreational value of a river site. Beach nourishment for coastal protection purposes may result in a ‘better’ beach in recreational terms. In coastal defence and river management schemes, for example off- shore reefs, new sea walls with promenades or river flood banks or retention lakes, may also change sites in ways that may provide new recreational opportunities and thus may enhance the recreational potential of the sites. The BT approaches for river and coastal sites are described in turn. The AMP4 Guidance (RPA, 2003) distinguishes between recreational users for river and coastal sites. For fluvial flood defence, studies from the AMP4 Guidance have been deemed applicable. Angling is considered separately, because of the special nature of this type of users. For coastal sites the applicability of most existing valuations is much more limited. The most relevant are the values from the Multi-Coloured Manual (Penning-Rowsell, et al 2003), although coastal recreation for the more specialised user has also been looked at. A1: Introduction 1 Other impacts categories are being further investigated (we are currently reviewing the scope for BT for valuation of landscape impacts and in-stream recreation for rivers. We also expect to include a section on the valuation of stress related effects in the future). 2 A1: Introduction A2. Rivers A2.1 Informal recreation Overview The term informal recreation covers a wide range of different activities, such as: • walking and hiking; • picnicking; • dog-walking; and • nature appreciation related activities such as birdwatching and photography. Flood management and coastal defence schemes could potentially impact upon informal recreational users. For example, the construction of a concrete floodwall could lead to the loss of footpaths whereas soft engineering defences or a carefully designed hard defence could enhance the recreational value of a site. Options that provide habitat creation in addition to flood defence (such as managed set back or washlands) can also provide additional recreation benefits for users such as birdwatchers. Qualitative description of impacts Identifying the impacts on recreation from flood management and coastal defence options involves identifying the impacts of changes to the physical environment under the ‘do-nothing’ and the ‘do-something’ options. The qualitative description of impacts should be recorded in the AST, with this including the following aspects: • is there access to the river? Is this good, moderate or poor? (identify possible access sites, car parks, footpaths, etc.)? • does informal recreation take

  • Fen Management Strategy - Explains the Role of the Strategy and Its Relationship to Other Documents
    CONTENTS Acknowledgements Purpose & use of the fen management strategy - explains the role of the strategy and its relationship to other documents Summary - outlines the need for a fen management strategy Introduction - Sets the picture of development and use of fens from their origins to present day Approach to producing strategy - Methodology to writing the fen management strategy Species requirements: This section provides a summary of our existing knowledge concerning birds, plants, mammals and invertebrates associated with the Broads fens. This information forms a basis for the fen management strategy. Vegetation resource Mammals Birds Invertebrates Summary of special features for each valley: This section mainly identifies the botanical features within each valley. The distribution of birds, mammals and invertebrates is either variable or unknown, and so has been covered only in a general sense in the section on species requirements. However, where there is obvious bird interest concentrated within particular valleys, this has been identified. The botanical section provides a summary analysis of the fen vegetation resource survey and considers the relative importance of fen vegetation in a local and national context. A summary of the chemical variables of the soils for each valley has also been included. Ant valley Bure valley Muckfleet valley Thurne valley Waveney valley Yare valley The fen resource for the future: Identifies aims and objectives to restore fens to favourable nature conservation state Environmental constraints and opportunities - Using the fen management strategy: - During the fen vegetation resource survey, chemical variables of the substratum associated with various plant communities were measured. The purpose of these measurements was to provide some indication of the importance of substrate to the plant communities.

  • Parish of Postling
    PARISH OF POSTLING ANNUAL PARISH MEETING 2016 DRAFT Minutes of Postling Annual Parish Meeting held at Parish Village Hall on Wednesday 25 May 2016 starting at 7.30pm. PRESENT: Cllr Frank Hobbs (Chair), Cllr Christine Hobbs, Cllr John Elphick, Cllr Helen Calderbank, Jo Maher (Clerk), County District Councillor Susan Carey, KALC Chairman Ray Evison, Clive Adsett, Christine Webb, Tony Van Eldik, Marieke Van Eldik, Pat Elphick, Jan Wood, Derek Wood, Jenny Mannion 1) APOLOGIES: District Councillor Jenny Hollingsbee, Cllr John Pattrick, Cllr Charlie Wilkins, Cllr Jane Reynolds, Chris Reynolds, Gill Dixon 2) MINUTES OF THE PREVIOUS MEETING: The Minutes of the previous Annual Parish Meeting held on Wednesday 20 May 2015 were approved and signed by the Chair. This was proposed by Cllr Elphick, seconded by Cllr Christine Hobbs and unanimously agreed. 3) CHAIRMAN’s REPORT: Your Parish Council had another busy year. We are currently threatened by major developments in the area. The on-going consultation about the lorry park at Junction 11 was expected to report some time ago on the preferred site, but there is no news yet, and now probably won’t be released until after the referendum. This could have a knock-on effect on the sand extraction site if they chose Option 2. And now there is the proposal from Shepway DC for a “garden town” running on the southern side of the motorway from Junction 11 to the western edge of Sellindge, no doubt Cllr Carey will enlighten us more in her report. We have been invited to a meeting at SDC early next month, along with the other affected parishes, to be briefed fully on the proposed project.

  • Notes on the Probable Course of the Roman Road from Lympne to Dover
    Archaeologia Cantiana Vol. 62 1949 NOTES ON THE PROBABLE COURSE OF THE ROMAN ROAD FROM LYMPNE TO DOVER By IVAN D. MARGARY, F.S.A. THE existence of a Roman road connecting Lympne with. Dover is attested by its actual appearance upon the diagrammatic map known as the Peutinger Table. No traces of the road had, however, been identified, and the growth of Folkestone and its outskirts has now put much of the probable route beyond direct investigation. Some notes were put forward by the late S. E. Winbolt in his book Roman Folkestone (Methuen, 1925) as a tentative approach to the subject, and it was with a view to testing these on the ground that the present investigation was made. There is general agreement that the existing road along the old cliffs at Lympne represents the Roman road. East of Shipway Cross it bends a good deal and is probably an old ridgeway track rather than an engineered road, but there seems no reason to disregard it as a part of the route on that account. We thus arrive at the crossing of the Brockhill Stream, just at the western entry to Hythe, and it seems clear that the trackway is directly continued by an old lane, now in part only a footpath, straight up the hill north-eastwards to Saltwood, making no doubt for the hills inland. Consideration of the eastward course of a Roman road from this point is very largely determined by the topography, which here shows marked features some of which would entirely preclude the making of a direct road.

But by the same token, these are exciting times for us. No-one has any doubt that in 2029 the Church of England in South Yorkshire and the East Riding will look very different from the way it is now — but equally no- one is yet very clear about the shape it will take. Our plan is an ambitious one and we are hungry for change. We are asking tough questions. Will the whole people of God be mobilised for the whole mission of God? What will morale be like, among key lay and ordained leaders? Will attendance figures be in decline or growing? Will there be more stipendiary incumbents or fewer? Will there be more congregations or fewer? Will we raise up a dynamic community of ‘Lights for Christ’? Will we grow a praying community of 2025 by 2025? These questions were already pressing ones for us before the present pandemic: they will surely be even more urgent for us now.
